This is a weird episode guys. I do have hair, so maybe it’s just not something I can understand, but man, hair apparently makes the world go round. Poor Homer and his insecurity. Growing up I always associated myself with the kids, for obvious reasons, but on this […]
Well, here we are, already in season 2! And really, I feel like this is where the show really kicks into gear. There was some great stuff in season 1, but it’s not quite there yet. The voices aren’t right, the animation is a little off, and the […]
Well, here we are already, the end of the first season. The first hurdle has been passed, 25 to go! Oh man, I didn’t think this through. Let’s dive on in folks! So the family is sitting at breakfast, listening to the radio, which is something the Simpsons […]
Classic episode guys. Let’s dive right in! So right off the bat, there’s a pretty great chalkboard gag. “They are laughing at me, not with me.” Jesus that’s harsh. What a messed up thing to make a kid write about himself. The episode proper starts with the kids […]

Dang. This is a heavy episode. I don’t remember it hitting so hard as a kid. I assume that would have something to do with the fact that I haven’t seen this episode since I’ve been married. Well, let’s talk about marital infidelity everyone! The episode starts with […]
Well, after two episodes that I found to be classic and foundational to the rest of the series, we take a slight dip, back to just a pretty good episode. Don’t get me wrong, I liked this episode, but it just didn’t hold up to the last two’s […]
Oh man you guys. This episode. While Moaning Lisa was probably the Simpsons first great episode from a storytelling and emotional level, I think this is it’s first great episode from a comedic point of view. Now, other episodes so far in the series have had some great […]
Here we go guys. The first truly great episode of the Simpsons. I feel like this is a super familiar story, but as a kid, I was not a fan of Lisa episodes. As a little boy, I wanted to just watch funny Bart of Homer episodes. The […]
